"Is it just my husband that is seriously lacking in emotional intelligence?"
Um...yes?
I know (not that there's any comparison except the gender...) my ex had that problem. I literally had to train him how to answer certain things. We went to counseling and the counselor reminded him that even if he was not feeling something in that second and I was wanting reassurance, that in the bigger picture (ha) he really *did* feel say, love--so it wasn't a 'lie' to say it to me.
I don't thinkk I said that well, but I hope you get my point. My ex was like a savante; his brain was highly developed but his emotional intelligence was infantile.
